Leuconostoc lactis is a recognised cause of infection in immunocompromised hosts. It is intrinsically resistant to multiple antibiotics and treatment options may be limited. We report a case of safe and effective use of tigecycline in the treatment of Leuconostoc catheter-related line sepsis in a neutropenic patient. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful use of tigecycline for Leuconostoc bacteremia.
乳酸乳球菌是免疫功能低下宿主感染的公认病因。它对多种抗生素具有内在抗性，治疗选择可能有限。我们报告了一例在中性粒细胞减少患者中安全有效地使用替加环素治疗乳酸乳球菌导管相关败血症的病例。据我们所知，这是首例成功使用替加环素治疗乳酸乳球菌菌血症的报告病例。
